MYTH:
"If a young male has an
erection or if a female is
sexually aroused, or if victims
do not display signs of
distress during the sexual
abuse, then sexual assault
isn't happening."

FACT:
Physical reactions to sexual
stimulation are normal and
indicate that one's biological
body functions are responding
naturally. This does not mean
that the child or youth is
enjoying it. Sexual assault is a
criminal offence even if some of
the acts make the
individual feel good.
